# Glint-Research/Glint-1.3 → seton-labs/bench-effortless-6-2026
### via **lm-eval-harness** (EleutherAI), the standard eval framework
**Date:** 2026-06-20 · **Harness:** lm-eval 0.4.12 · **Model:** Glint-1.3 (982,656-param base model, no SFT)
**Dataset:** bench-effortless-6-2026, 240 "effortless" QA pairs · **Hardware:** CPU, ~16 s
---
## Headline (lm-eval, multiple-choice, zero-shot, loglikelihood)
| Metric | Score | ± (stderr) |
|---|---|---|
| **Chance baseline** (1 / #choices, averaged) | 25.3% | — |
| **`acc`** (argmax of summed log-likelihood) | **37.5%** | 3.1% |
| **`acc_norm`** (length-normalized log-likelihood) | **32.9%** | 3.0% |
Both metrics clear the 25% chance line. A 1M-param base model carries real-but-weak signal on these
tasks — far better than the misleading **0% generative accuracy** (a base model can't follow a QA format,
it just repeats `0`/`5`). Multiple-choice scored by likelihood is the correct protocol for a base model,
which is why we switched to it.
---
## How this was made to work with lm-eval
Glint-1.3 is **not loadable by `AutoModelForCausalLM`** out of the box (no `modeling_*.py`; weights are a
raw `models/model.pt`; custom tokenizer). To run the *real* harness I:
1. **Wrapped it as a HF model** (`bench/glint_hf/`): transcribed the exact `TinyLM`/`GlintLM` architecture
into `modeling_glint.py`, converted `model.pt` → `model.safetensors`, and built a proper tokenizer
from the 500-vocab `tokenizer_glint.json` (the one in the runner Space — **not** the model repo's
2173-vocab `tokenizer.json`, which doesn't match this checkpoint).
2. **Preserved the two non-standard details** that change the math: embedding scaling
(`h = embed × √128`) and the padded untied `lm_head` (512→ sliced to 500).
3. **Verified bit-for-bit:** the HF wrapper reproduces the original repo model's log-probs to **diff = 0.0**
on multi-token continuations (`bench/glint_hf/test_hf_load.py`).
4. **Worked around a transformers-5.x bug:** `from_pretrained` NaNs non-persistent buffers, which killed
the cached RoPE table — so RoPE is computed on-the-fly with no buffers.
> Gotchas worth knowing: (a) transformers 5.x dropped the old `trust_remote_code`/`auto_map` path, so the
> model is registered in-process; (b) the matching tokenizer lives in the `Glint-Research/CompactAIModelRunner`
> Space, not the model repo.
---
## Per-category (both lm-eval metrics)
| Category | `acc` | `acc_norm` | n |
|---|---|---|---|
| Language | 54.8% | 42.9% | 42 |
| Commonsense | 54.1% | **2.7%** | 37 |
| Pattern Recognition | 35.1% | 35.1% | 37 |
| Logic | 35.7% | 64.3% | 42 |
| Knowledge | 26.2% | 31.0% | 42 |
| Math | 20.0% | 17.5% | 40 |
**Reading the `acc` vs `acc_norm` gap.** They only differ when candidate answers have different lengths
(the raw-sum `acc` is biased toward *shorter* answers, since fewer tokens = less negative log-prob).
The two extreme cases are revealing:
- **Commonsense (54% → 2.7%):** this category is almost all binary Yes/No. On raw `acc` it ties the
majority-class baseline (54% = "always say the most common polarity") — pure frequency bias, no
reasoning. Once length-normalized, it *flips to 2.7%*: systematic **anti-correlation**. Either way,
the model is not reading the question.
- **Logic (36% → 64%):** flips the other way — under normalization the model lands on the right answer
more often, so there's genuine (if noisy) signal hidden under length effects.
**Genuine signal** lives in **Language, Pattern Recognition, Knowledge** — there the model beats chance
and majority-guessing consistently under both metrics. **Math stays near/below chance** under both: it
isn't computing, just latching onto digits from the prompt.
---
## Cross-check: matches the hand-rolled implementation
An earlier from-scratch MC scorer (same protocol, per-token normalization) reported **zero-shot 37.5%** —
identical to lm-eval's `acc` here. That independent agreement confirms the numbers are real, not an
artifact of either pipeline.

## Reproduce
```bash
cd bench
pip install --index-url https://download.pytorch.org/whl/cpu torch tokenizers
pip install lm-eval safetensors
python3 glint_hf/convert.py # build HF model dir from model.pt + tokenizer
python3 glint_hf/test_hf_load.py # verify log-probs match the original repo model (diff=0)
python3 build_mc_dataset.py # build leakage-free MC set (gold + same-category distractors)
python3 run_lmeval.py # -> results_lmeval.json, samples_lmeval.json
```
**Artifacts (`bench/`):** `glint_hf/` (HF model: `modeling_glint.py`, `convert.py`, `config.json`,
`model.safetensors`, tokenizer), `tasks/bench_effortless_mc.yaml`, `bench_mc.jsonl`,
`run_lmeval.py`, `results_lmeval.json` (summary), `samples_lmeval.json` (per-doc loglikelihoods).
